Adventure Travel in Spain: Bike Tours, Costa Brava Walking Tours, and More!

Whether you walk, hike or bike, Spain is a perfect destination for your next active vacation

“Spinning through stunning Spain” is more than just an exercise in alliteration with Adventure Collection. It’s a real-life, reachable state.

Located on the Iberian Peninsula, Spain is the second largest country in Europe (after France). Bounded by the lands of Andorra, France, Gibraltar, Morocco, and Portugal, Spain is also surrounded by the waters of Mediterranean Sea in the southeast, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Bay of Biscay to the north. This gives the country a magnificent mix of art, culture, climate, and natural wonders.

Pedal through the Andalucía region on your Spain adventure, and in Granada, you’ll be able to explore the Alhambra, its Generalife gardens, and the storied Albaicín neighborhood. In Córdoba, you can visit the Historic Centre with its great Mezquita-Catedral (Mosque-Cathedral), a World Heritage site. In Seville, traveling by bike will allow you to linger at the royal palace of Alcázar, originally a Moorish fort. During your trip to Spain, you might even plan to attend colorful festivals, such as the Carnival of Cádiz, the El Rocío Pilgrimage, or those during Easter week. Spend some time on the sunny beaches of Costa del Sol, Costa de la Luz, or Almería, or wheel through the extensive olive groves of Jaén.

But biking in Spain isn’t the only meandering mode of engaging with this country. Hiking in Spain has its own unique rewards. Walk Costa Brava’s ancient footpaths from cliffs to secluded coves where half-moons of white sand and crystal clear water are cupped by verdant, forested hillsides. Feel the crunch of pine needles beneath your sandals; or amble over smooth cobblestones through whitewashed fishing villages and sepia-toned medieval towns unsullied by time.

Your adventures in Spain could be a stunning spin, a wondrous walk, or a Technicolor trip through curvaceous coves and colossal cliffs. Many more illustrative alliterations will suggest themselves, long after you return home.
